Meanwhile up on the surface, the death troopers were continuing their search. They stumbled upon the bush that hid lucys hideout, and saw the hatch hidden under it. Lucy immediately woke up, sensing the troopers. She quickly rushed to get out of her sleeping bag and grab her lightsaber, knowing she would have to make a run for it. She didn't have time to grab her purse or put on her boots, as the troopers blew the door open and dropped gas bombs into the hideout

Lucy coughed for air and had no choice but to glitch out. The death troopers attempted to subdue her, but Lucy had enough energy in her to fight them off, slicing their blasters and slicing their heads off swiftly. Lucy knew in moments they'd regenerate so she had to run. She wished so badly to go home, but the castle was surrounded by imperials who knew she'd try to go there. Lucky for her, she had 1 place she knew she was always welcome

(With mocho)

Mocho was having a hard time trying to fall asleep, he hadn't slept well since Lucy was framed for her crime. He tried hard with Kevin, Christie, even his classmate Snooper who was good at dealing with stuff like this. He couldn't find anything that said Lucy didn't do the crime, but he refused to give up hope.

Out of everyone, he spent the most time trying to be with Lucy, but he hadn't seen her in a week, and he really missed her. Lucy told him he couldn't keep seeing her as the imperials were making more patrols in the forest, and it wasn't safe for him or her. He hated having to say goodbye, but Lucy left her necklace with him to remember her by, until the day they could see each other again. He kept it safe in his bedroom desk.

Mocho could feel his eyes grow tired, he needed to go to bed for school. Before he could finally pass out, his ear twitched, he could hear something outside, it sounded like someone was running scared from something. Not only him, his dad and sister heard it too. Before long his entire family was downstairs, knowing who was coming. They opened the door and quickly hid Lucy inside, mocho giving her a hug.

"Lucy, I'm so glad to see you again" mocho cried

"Guys, you gotta hide me, please I'll do anything" Lucy cried as she breathed heavily

"Hiding in the woods grow boring for you?" Cinnamon asked

"The imperials found my hiding spot. They don't know I'm here, but I have nowhere else to go. I couldn't save any of my stuff, what I have on is all I have left, and I can't really survive in pajamas and a bathrobe, even with a lightsaber" said Lucy

"We know you're innocent Lucy. And since you've been so good to our family, we will be good to you. We would be honored if you stayed here til this settles down" said Kit

Fudge got a look at lucys feet and freaked out, sitting her down and doing first aid. Lucy was barefoot and her feet were bruised and were lightly bleeding.

"Oh you poor thing" said Fudge "can I get you anything? Water? Something to eat?"

"Those would be nice. I don't care where I sleep, I'll sleep anywhere. A bed, couch, on the floor, even your basement or attic. I'm just glad I'll have someone take care of me" said Lucy

After patching up Lucy, fudge got Lucy a meal while Kit went to set up a spot for Lucy to sleep in the basement. He got her a mattress with a blanket and pillow, and made sure they were nice and fluffy for her. Lucy scarfed her meal down, she was really hungry. Cinnamon and mocho wanted to talk to her but fudge ordered them to bed, saying they could talk to her in the morning. After eating, Lucy was taken to where she would sleep.

"Just get some rest princess, tomorrow I'll wash these clothes for you. You can stay here as long as you need" said Fudge

Fudge gave her a kiss on the forehead and tucked her in, treating her as one of her own kids. Lucy smiled, it was nice getting a mother's love, even if fudge wasn't Vanellope. Lucy missed Vanellope so much, she wanted so badly to see her again.

For the first time in 2 weeks, Lucy actually slept well. She knew the smorelines house wasn't being searched, one thought twice before messing with them, and they were one of the most respected families in the farmlands.

When morning came, Lucy was awoken by mocho who sat next to her in her makeshift bed.

"I'm glad to see you again. I kept your necklace safe like I promised, you can have it back when you're ready, it's on my desk" said Mocho

"Thanks"

"Lucy, I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I'm trying to find the culprit, really I am" said Mocho

"Any luck?" Lucy asked

"The day after I saw you last, I got access to channel 7 with Snooper"

(1 week ago)

The 2 kids were led to a security room and shown security footage of Lucy planting bombs over the building. The footage was hard to see, but it was definitely her.

"But why would she do that?" Snooper asked

"She was pretty mad when she was here. She was being interviewed for a top secret project she was working on, but the reporter laughed at her. She didn't take it well and soon enough, there was a big fist fight" said a guard

"I refuse to believe this. I know lucy, she's better than this" said Mocho

"Where would Lucy even get this much explosives?" Snooper asked

"Police said the explosives were military grade, possibly imperial"

"Maybe there's a clue at the imperial military base" said Mocho

For days, mocho went to every place Lucy supposedly blew up, honeys hive, the imperial military base, the inventors hall, he did everything he could, and despite believing so hard, it just seemed Lucy had gone crazy to everyone as she was clearly seen in all the security footage.

(End flashback)

"I'm sorry Lucy, I don't know what else to do" said Mocho

"It's ok mocho, whoever's doing this will be caught, see it isn't me. But til then, I just gotta hide. I know what the imperials will do if they catch me, I don't want to deal with that" said Lucy

"Well, I better be getting ready for school. We all miss you at school, everything feels different. Even Miss twilight agrees things are different without you" said Mocho

"I admit I too miss school, but for now I need to lay low. You have a good day mocho, I'll be safe here" said Lucy

Sometime later Sky lynx arrived and took mocho and cinnamon to school. School just didn't feel the same without Lucy around, it was very noticeable with all the kids, seeing that one empty seat in the classroom or the dining table. Lunches seemed quieter now without Lucy, that was until today of course, when Snooper and Scoop came running into the dining room with a brown box.

"Guys, we got one of lucys boxes" said Scoop

The entire class perked up and looked with interest. Lucy had recently been getting lots of boxes, but the imperials were confiscating them. While scoop and snooper wouldn't say how they got one of lucys mystery packages, they gladly showed off the box on the table. Unfortunately they couldn't read the sender, as it was written in galactic basic from Star Wars, which no one could read.

"I'll translate the label, I just got a new language app on my phone" said Annaween

She took a picture of the label and her phone began to translate the sender.

'The Confederacy of Independent Systems'

"Never heard of it" said Cinnamon

"Me neither" said Mocho

Jr showed a look of disgust and hatred.

"Separatist droids. Vy vould Lucy be getting stuff from zem? Vots in zis box anyvay?" Jr asked

He began tearing the box open, much to mocho and Kevin's disapproval, and inside was a code box with a red button on top, and a label reading 'DO NOT ACTIVATE INDOORS!'

This confused everyone except Kevin, but he remained silent. He tried to take the box from jr, but he teleported outside the castle, and much to Christie and Norvilles surprise, he activated the box. The ground started shaking as the box lifted up in the air and flashed colors. Much to their surprise, a huge spaceship materialized and destroyed the castle. Jr recognized the ship as a Lucrehulk battleship, a trade federation ship from Star Wars.

Jr felt a little embarrassed having destroyed the castle, but wondered why would lucy order a lucrehulk? Kevin appeared beside jr and was furious at his home being destroyed again, but Christie saw someone nearby that made Kevin stop yelling. Lying on the ground nearby was what seemed to be Lucy, she rubbed her eyes, trying to get up. Her purse lied on the ground overflowing with bombs. Several of the students approached her, but mocho sensed something was wrong.

"That's not Lucy" he shouted
